Electronic device and screen display method thereof

Abstract

An electronic device includes a communicator configured to perform communication with an external device, a display configured to display a UI (User Interface) element in a screen, and a processor. The processor receives through the communicator, touch panel information of the external device and first data according to a first input of a user detected on the touch panel of the external device, and changes a location of the UI element displayed on the screen based on the touch panel information and the first data.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An electronic device, comprising:
 a communicator; 
 a display; and 
 a processor configured to:
 in response to pairing with an external device, receive touch panel information comprising information on a size of a touch panel of the external device through the communicator, 
 display a UI (User Interface) element on a first location of a screen of the display; 
 receive, through the communicator, data including information on coordinates of a user input detected by the touch panel of the external device, 
 identify a second location of the screen corresponding to the coordinates of the user input based on correlation of the size of the touch panel to a size of the screen and the data including information on the coordinates of the user input detected by the touch panel of the external device, and 
 move the UI element displayed on the first location to the identified second location. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the user input comprises a hovering input. 
     
     
       3. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the data comprises coordinates of a hovering point of the hovering input. 
     
     
       4. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein the data is a first data and the user input is a first input, and the processor receives a second data according to a second input of the user input detected on the touch panel of the external device, and selects the UI element displayed on the screen of the electronic device based on the second data. 
 
     
     
       5. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the second data is received after the first data is received. 
     
     
       6. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the processor outputs a message inducing change of a touch location on the touch panel based on the touch panel information and the data including the information on the detected location on the user input detected by touch panel of the external device. 
     
     
       7. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the message is output differently according to coordinates of the user input. 
     
     
       8. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the message is output as a voice message. 
     
     
       9. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the message is displayed on the screen. 
     
     
       10. The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the processor outputs a graphic object inducing change of a touch location on the touch panel based on the touch panel information and the data including information on the detected location of the user input detected by the touch panel of the external device. 
     
     
       11. A screen display method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
 in response to pairing with an external device, receiving touch panel information comprising information on a size of a touch panel of the external device; 
 displaying a UI (User Interface) element on a first location of a screen; 
 receiving data including information on coordinates of a user input detected by the touch panel of the external device; 
 identifying a second location of the screen corresponding to the coordinates of the user input based on correlation of the size of the touch panel to a size of the screen and the data including information on the coordinates of the user input detected by the touch panel of the external device; and 
 moving the UI element displayed on the first location to the identified second location. 
 
     
     
       12. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the user input comprises a hovering input. 
     
     
       13. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the data comprises coordinates of a hovering point of the hovering input. 
     
     
       14. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the data is a first data and the user input is a first input, and the method further comprises:
 receiving a second data according to a second input of the user input detected on the touch panel; and 
 selecting the UI element displayed on the screen of the electronic device based on the second data. 
 
     
     
       15. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the second data is received after the first data is received. 
     
     
       16. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 11  comprising:
 outputting a message inducing change of a touch location on the touch panel based on the touch panel information and the data including the information on the location of the user input detected by the touch panel of the external device. 
 
     
     
       17. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the message is output differently according to coordinates of the user input. 
     
     
       18. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the message is output as a voice message. 
     
     
       19. The screen display method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the message is displayed on the screen.
